Thanks Jim & Stefan, up and running, very very happy and about twice as fast as using Eclipse on the XP VM in Parallels.
Specific instructions for Parallels 4 on OSX: 1. Apple menu > About this Mac > More info... > Network > Locations - In the text scroll until you see "Parallels Host-Only Networking Adapter - Find and copy the IP address in listed this section (e.g. 10.0.0.10) 2. Eclipse: - Select your project - Run > Run Configurations... > Arguements > Program Arguements - Add: " -bindAddress 10.0.0.10" to what's in there (use the IP address copied in 1 above) - Apply 3. Parallels: - Parallels Desktop > Preferences... > Network - Choose: "Host only-networking" - OK 4. Now run your GWT project in eclipse. - Copy the address that Development Mode provides. - Use it in your browser on OSX and the same address will also work in a browser in the Parallels VM. I didn't have to change my Firewall settings, but if you are having problems you can turn it off.
